N-salicylidineanilines are known to show thermochromic behaviour, which is currently postulated to arise from an intramolecular proton shift between the keto and enol form as...

Recently we studied L-alanine to 9.85 GPa. This is the highest pressure for which structural data are available for any organic system larger than methane. The results enabled...

Understanding the behavior of colloidal nanoparticles in submicron channels is essential for a number of technological challenges including fracture healing, channel-transport...

Understanding the energetics and structure of aromatic molecules (those containing benzene rings) is important to a large area of chemical science including protein and DNA...

[Rh(PiBu3)2(H3BNMe3)]BArF4 is a rare example of a structurally characterised model compound for the sigma-complex intermediate in the transition metal catalysed amine-borane...

Ge-Sb-Te chalcogenide alloys are important for applications in advanced (non-volatile) random-access memory based on a reversible switching between the crystalline and amorphous...

New technological advances require new types of materials. For example, currently there is no economical technology for capturing carbon dioxide released from power plants. We...

Graphene oxide (GO) is an important starting material for developing chemically modified graphene for use in a variety of important technical applications that include...

Anils, N-salicylideneanilines, display thermochromism, which is thought to involve an intramolecular proton shift, but to-date the structural changes postulated to occur during...

Composites materials that combine the flexibility and mechanical robustness offered by polymers with the functionality displayed by metal oxide nanoparticles offer new insight...

We will use neutron diffraction with isotopic substitution to study Dimethylacetamide (DMAc) in the hope of establishing this amide solvent's structure. Dimethylacetamide is a...

Deep Eutectic Solvents (DES) are complexes of organic salts and neutral hydrogen bond donors. They are tuneable, low volatility liquids that are environmentally benign....

The solution chemistry of Pt(II) and Pd(II) cations has attracted experimental and theoretical attention because of their relevance in catalytic processes and the...

Green Lizard Technologies are undertaking performance trials with dimethylcarbonate as a blend component in diesel fuels to reduce carbon particulate emission. Here,...

The objective of this research is to understand the detailed structure of water-surfactant solutions as a function of concentration. This is important as these materials form...

In our recent work we have studied formation of nanostructured cerium oxides from the choline chloride:urea deep eutectic solvent (DES). We found that as water content in the...

There is a huge interest in the properties of water under extreme conditions of temperature, pressure and environment. This interest ranges from the water vapour jets that...

Processing of complex biopolymers, particularly proteins such as keratin and silk, has been hindered by the extremely low solubility and thus accessibility to the protein...

V2O5 based glass with a sealing temperature of around 400ºC is now being applied in electronic devices, such as in crystal oscillators and MEMS devices as an alternative sealant...

Gas hydrates present a significant problem to the petrochemical industry, with pipeline plugs imparting major financial and safety concerns. Gas hydrate crystallization is...
